Abstract:		 In January 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land to the west of Desmonds Close, Hauxton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4420 5214. The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for a new development of 5 dwellings and associated garden land, roads infrastructure, landscaping and access following the demolition of existing agricultural buildings (South Cambs Council Approval Ref. S/1824/17/FL), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. Features were present within each evaluation trench. The majority of features in Trenches 2 and 3 were modern. Undated features were recorded in each trench (Trench 1: seven; Trench 2: one; Trench 3: one; and Trench 4: six), and the densest concentrations of undated features were in the northern (Trench 1) and southern (Trench 4) areas of the site. The undated features mostly comprised linear features (ditches and gullies), and also included some pits. The features contained no dating evidence or, indeed, finds. The ditches recorded during the evaluation, for example those in Trench 1, were orientated NW/SE and were perpendicular to the large linear features recorded as part of the adjacent excavation (Features 153 and 158) (CHER MCB20294; Crawley 2010) (Fig.3). It is suggested that the latter ditches and gullies may have represented field boundaries or land divisions. The adjacent excavation also recorded several shallow quarry pits without finds. The undated pits recorded during the current evaluation may represent a continuation of the quarrying except that the quarry pits were on the eastern side of the excavation of the plot next door i.e. not directly adjacent.
